DCD Power Cable Pulling Eyes are all designed to offer the shortest possible overall length to help in travel over sheaves or bullwheels and are manufactured from high strength Stainless Steel.
Three types are offered the Swivel-Grip™ includes a built in swivel head with load ratings always greater than the cable it is designed to pull. This type of Pulling Eye is longer than the other types, but is more economical than purchasing a separate swivel. The two Power-Grip™ types do not have a built-in swivel, but are much shorter making bends and sheaves easier to traverse. Grip is obtained by cutting away the cable jacket, feeding the core through the Cone Nut and driving the tapered insert into the cable core. The higher the load, the further the insert is drawn into the tapered bore and the firmer the grip becomes. The newly designed Cone Nuts feature a shortened thread; making assembly and removal much quicker.
Thorough testing proves that the grip obtained by this method is better than the strength of the cable itself. It is recommended that these Pulling Eyes be used only on cables with more than 7 strand conductors. For cables with less than 7 strands use the Mini Grip.
Custom Kits are also available with any of the three types of Pulling Eyes. Shown above is a special kit designed for a major west coast utility. Their requirement was to pull up to 3 cables of various sizes. DCD custom designs foam inserts to fit into a metal carrying box. This keeps the products clean and safe and secures them in the box - it is also easy to see if any part is missing from the kit.
DCD now offers two new types of Eyes for Multiplex cable. Series 24200 is a Pushing Eye used to group the cables together while being pushed through short lengths of ducting. Series 24300 is a Multiplex Pulling Eye which is a single part into which up to 4 cables can be assembled. This minimizes the space needed for the multiplex pull.
The purpose of the Series 25000 Pulling Harness is to allow single or
multiple pulls at one time by attaching 1 or 2 cables to the one Pulling
Harness.
Fiber Optic Cable Installation
Fiber Optic cables are the wave of the future. Suddenly tons of information can be transferred through fibers so thin that thousands can fit in your hand at once. Installation of fiber optic cables can be tricky because the tools are small and the procedures need to be exact. That is why having the correct tools is essential.
DCD offers the 00905 Combo Kit which gives you all the options in one case (for re-usable pulling eyes). In this section we also offer a wide range of re-usable Pulling Eyes and Wire Mesh Grips which are sold separately to suit each application.
